PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

Cefuroxime is a second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that provides broad-spectrum bactericidal activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms.

It functions by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis and is particularly stable in the presence of many β-lactamase enzymes, making it effective against resistant strains.

Cefuroxime 500 MG Tablets are widely used in the management of moderate to severe infections of the respiratory tract, urinary tract, and skin.

With excellent oral bioavailability especially when taken after food—Cefuroxime offers a reliable and convenient alternative to injectable therapy in outpatient and step-down treatment settings.
